Abstract
Rest-of-World Markets Hold Growth Potential
With increasing awareness of sleep apnea among the medical fraternity and
patients, the demand for therapeutics is expected to grow at a rapid pace,
especially in the markets outside North America, Europe, and Japan. The
acceptance of auto-setting continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices
and high-end masks are expected to drive this growth. The anticipated increase
in the number of patients diagnosed and the lowered selling price of therapeutic
products such as CPAPs, humidifiers, and masks is likely to result in market
expansion in the coming years.
This Frost & Sullivan strategic analysis offers insights into future
trends in various product categories of the sleep apnea therapeutics market such
as standard, bi-level, high-end, and auto-setting CPAPs, humidifiers, and masks
in the global markets. This is likely to help companies align their positioning
strategies to benefit from the changing markets and obtain maximum return on
investment.
Technology Innovation Enhances Patient Comfort and Expands Market
"Patient compliance is key to the success of a CPAP therapy," says
the analyst. "An auto-setting portable CPAP with an integrated humidifier
and a patient-friendly mask may lead to optimum patient comfort, resulting in
compliance with the therapy."
To attain this, companies marketing sleep apnea therapeutics are channeling
more funds into research and development to innovate products that can result in
improved patient comfort and compliance. Insurance providers that understand the
importance of patient compliance in CPAP therapy are offering coverage. The
advent of such patient-friendly CPAP therapy systems is expected not only to
increase the number of patients on the therapy, but also result in more patients
opting to get diagnosed.
Growing Awareness Drives Penetration of CPAP Therapy
With more than 20 million people suffering from CPAP in the United States
alone, the worldwide market potential for CPAP therapy is enormous. However,
only a small percentage of patients have been diagnosed and treated. Growing
awareness of the gravity of this disorder and the need for CPAP therapy is
expected to drive uptake in the coming years. "The study of relationships
between cardiac disorders, obesity, and sleep apnea is also expected to
encourage patients to seek medical help and subsequently get treated using CPAPs,"
concludes the analyst.
